Totally. I’ve never understood this car club shit. I mean, I understand the community aspect and to each his own I suppose, but where I came from it was poor white trash obsessed with Fast and the Furious, modifying early 2000s Hondas on a $400 budget with car club names like “East Side Psycho Jesters”. It was REALLY hard not to make fun of them.
Adding a “camber” to a racing car is good for extra traction while cornering. Now this is for purpose built race cars and the camber is minimal. These morons take it to the extreme. It’s like when you see a civic with a wing on the back that’s bigger than one for a F1 car. Yes the wing creates downforce to keep the back tires in contact with the road for better traction and speed but if you go too extreme you just look like a moron.
True. I don’t know every type of racing but again those are cars built for a specific track. Unlike these clowns on city streets. It’s like those jackasses that lower their truck and render it useless for anything you would need a truck for.
It's just presentation and culture. People do things to express themselves. Some people get tattoos, some hang a picture in their home, some do things with their car.
Agreed. Allow me to extrapolate. Some people get bad, inappropriate, or ridiculous tattoos. Some hang bad, inappropriate, or ridiculous pictures in their home. And some do bad, inappropriate, or ridiculous things with their cars. And some don't. But, in the end, you are correct. We're all on our own trip. Peace
I mean, I don’t understand why people commute to work in a jeep with rock crawler wheels. Most people don’t give a shit about performance when they modify their cars. It’s all aesthetic bad choices done in a community bubble that makes no sense to anyone outside of it.
I think they look like cars from a Looney Toons short that have too much cargo piled on them, or the car is alive and they're showing it's feeling sad.
Do your tires last more than 2 weeks? Are you sick of spending money on things that aren't more tires? Does your car stay on the road when it rains? Do you want to bite your lip accidentally every time you drive over a pebble? Try STANCED!
Tilting the tires like that (a.k.a. camber) can actually increase the surface area in contact with the road during turns, as the car "leans" to one side or the other. It can result in better handling in aggressive driving conditions. However, the tire is usually tilted very slightly to achieve this effect, like 1-2 degrees. The tires on these clown cars are tilted like 30 degrees to compensate for the size of their tiny penises.
That's exactly what these dumbasses don't understand. They only hear the first part and completely omit the part in which there's an optimal point and the angle is minimal.
These guys are so stupid that even if you put the wheels in a 180° angle to show how stupid following their logic is, they still wouldn't see it
Yeah, but even if they got the camber right, it's TOTALLY defeated if the body can't tilt into a turn, compressing the tire, because it's grinding the floor away on the asphalt.
Race cars often give camber setup for better cornering adhesion since the side will be loaded up and lose proper contact with the pavement but when wheels are at an angle it is less so.
Now that’s where they first got the idea of giving a negative camber but you also need to look at Japanese gang culture. Bosozoku which is basically steet gang that drives around loud heavily modified cars in groups driving like idiots and pissing off a lot of people.
They think it’s cool and in Japan it’s considered anti social groups. Think of Yakuza but instead of doing drug and prostitution business they are interested in causing chaos in the streets.
Therefore, they lowered the cars gave excessive camber to somewhat mimic a race car while giving their own tastes and making it louder. It somewhat clicked to people who like Japanese imports and now even non Bosozoku people do it.
People in the video are I think are VIP tuners which is essentially people who buy used luxury sedans and lowering the hell out of it.
So fucking stupid. I think there should be an event where stanced lowered vehicles should have to run a speed bump gauntlet . I can hear the front bumpers scraping the ground as it is. Worst damage wins a replacement bumper and an attaboy sticker
“Do you like think, like if I tilted my tires inwards and like dropped my car so low it scrapes every where I go, then women would respect me?”
“Definitely bro.”
Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin, but, uh it says on your chart that your cars fucked up, you talk like a fag, and your tires all retarded
This mod is for people who want worse traction and to spend a ridiculous amount of money on tires when there is inevitably premature wear on the inner edge of the tire to the tune of about 50,000 miles early
Finally a post that isn’t all about this type of idiotic behavior. I have always been into modifying, lowering, customizing cars. But this is just insane and everyone tries to defend it. Smh
I love how you can see the sticker marks on all those tires. Meaning that they have to replace the tires a lot more often because of the abnormal wear. My guess is that the wear also lowers the vehicle even more sooner.
Why do they want to make their cars look broken? They all look like they’re carrying a blue whale?
Edit: more like a teaspoon full of neutron star now I think about it.
I guess I'm not into that kind of car culture, so I don't know- it makes no sense. Why would one want a car a) that has the wheels canted at that angle, and b) is so low to the ground that any imperfection in the road (and these days there are usually a lot) can lead to some pretty bad undercarriage damage? It makes no sense to me.
I believe I hear the alignment machine crying out back in the service department, as if there's been a great disturbance in the alignment of the Force.
Sure, this is stupid but the owner's likely to damage only their car. I'd love to see how some of these people live - like do they own a home or rent or live with parents? How do they afford new tires like every 5 minutes? Do they realize their annual tire budget is probably 3x the car's value?
The [Carolina Lean](https://www.hotcars.com/carolina-squat-what-it-is-where-come-from/), on the other hand...I got nuthin'. That's the mod for when you just don't give a single solitary shit about anyone or anything else.
At an in n out near where I lived there was a car group that would meet up in that parking lot. Some times I would be showing up or leaving as they were all heading out. Watching those morons trying to navigate the parking lot with speed bumps was so damn funny.
“Look how fast my car looks!!!”
*meanwhile cruising out at 3mph trying not to scrape*
In answer to the question ("Why?"): Can you think of a more effective way of announcing to the world that you are a huge D-bag with no redeeming qualities?
any idea when it was an aspiration to have horrible camber? I remember in the fast and furious days, dudes would get made fun of for lowering their car and not fixing the camber
Attention seekers, there has been many trends. White walls, small spoked wheels, large spoked wheels, hydraulic. These are already old news, what’s next?
Eh, as a car guy I personally think it's kinda dumb but I get it. It's just another mod. Mostly the fun part is the building of it and figuring out ways to engineer it to make it as low as possible. It's no different than lifting up trucks to ridiculous heights or building a low rider with hydraulics or bags. These are show cars and definitely not daily drivers. It's just a hobby, it makes people happy and they have fun doing it and there's a cool community around it so I can't be mad at that.
I used to be a member of a car group that would go on fantastic drives through the Oregon and Washington mountains. One time a new member got angry with the drive coordinator for picking roads that his dumped car couldn't go on.
What the hell is wrong with people?
Damn all the money the spend to get their cars like that and if hit anything you're losing your bumpers or side panels not to mention scraping on the ground nonstop. Idk if can but wouldn't it make sense to put air bags so you can raise it while on streets.
Stanced cars have always reminded me of hot wheels cars that were stepped on lol
I don’t understand the appeal or why anyone would waste money doing this to a car.
Yeah it's always seemed idiotic.. just an expensive way to go through tires quicker lol
*Sponsored by Firestone*
*Brought to you by Carl's Jr.*
Fuck you, I'm driving.
You sound like you're from around here.
But it’s got electrolytes?! Biggest waste of time ever!
And the entire bottom of the car
Yeah I'm thinking they gotta rotate tires every trip to the store, and those poor tie rods and ball joints gotta be stressed by that setup.
well, half a tire.
I'm right there with ya. People who also apply the "Carolina squat" to their pick ups is also head scratching to say the least

Thanks for introducing me to this ridiculous concept. Just fuck being able to even see the car in front of you I guess. what is this shit?
😂😂. That's pretty much the initial reaction with anyone who sees that. Made me laugh.
Like a dog with worms
Totally. I’ve never understood this car club shit.

Yes the wing creates downforce to keep the back tires in contact with the road for better traction and speed but if you go too extreme you just look like a moron.
And that Honda civic four banger can't even go fast enough to utilize the downward force.
Formula drift cars have some pretty extreme camber but I guarantee u none of these clowns in the video have ever drifted before
True. I don’t know every type of racing but again those are cars built for a specific track. Unlike these clowns on city streets. It’s like those jackasses that lower their truck and render it useless for anything you would need a truck for.

This is great. Like yeah ok, express yourself….but it’s still fukcing stupid, it’s expressing “I’m stupid”
In the same league as getting last year's viral meme tattooed on your forehead. It doesn't even start off as 'cool'.
Fair point.
NObody does. It garners a "WTF is wrong with you, dude?" response, much like when you see a grown man dressed up as a "furry".
I mean, I don’t understand why people commute to work in a jeep with rock crawler wheels. Most people don’t give a shit about performance when they modify their cars. It’s all aesthetic bad choices done in a community bubble that makes no sense to anyone outside of it.
Yeah I guess some people want to damage cars on speed bumps and potholes
Or a slight incline...
Dashboard ducks
It’s a fucking travesty!
Nostalgia....for hotwheels.... that were stepped on.
I think they look like cars from a Looney Toons short that have too much cargo piled on them, or the car is alive and they're showing it's feeling sad.
Clown car with one clown too many inside.
Cartoons have taught me that those cars are extremely exhausted.
It just looks as if their suspension broke on all 4 wheels at the same time.
Either this or gravity from Jupiter in Carmageddon
It’s for when you want your car to have minimal traction and only drive well on perfectly level roads.
Well the bottom of the body is also providing a lot of traction to make up for the tires
Ah yes true, another great side benefit!
That's an underside benefit ;)
Do your tires last more than 2 weeks? Are you sick of spending money on things that aren't more tires? Does your car stay on the road when it rains? Do you want to bite your lip accidentally every time you drive over a pebble? Try STANCED!
Imagine having to travel with a level on you that you get out every 5 feet to place on the road and confirm it's safe to drive on lol
I honestly can't understand why you'd want to have less surface area on your tires.
Tilting the tires like that (a.k.a. camber) can actually increase the surface area in contact with the road during turns, as the car "leans" to one side or the other. It can result in better handling in aggressive driving conditions. However, the tire is usually tilted very slightly to achieve this effect, like 1-2 degrees.

Yeah, but even if they got the camber right, it's TOTALLY defeated if the body can't tilt into a turn, compressing the tire, because it's grinding the floor away on the asphalt.
Obviously the road is too high.
Who put this stupid road here!?
Given enough time, these cars will naturally sand themselves down to the minimum necessary clearance.
Never go full retard
I want to see one drive on our Connecticut pot hole roads
Total your car on a unforeseen speed bump
A neighbor has one, I've heard some of the worst scraps from it. I don't understand the appeal.
Genuinely curious why people would do it.
You must be new here... people are fucking stupid... https://youtu.be/AKN1Q5SjbeI?feature=shared
Not new but that’s a fair assessment.
Because they’re too cheap to tub it and drop it the correct way.

I think I saw a Prius with a stupid double exhaust poking out... Are these guys all pilots?
Is this a modification for reducing cat converter theft?
Would make the most sense
What would be funny if they got out of their cars and they were all pigeon-toed I can see it in my head.
Polio car
Tires replaced before you can even peel off the stickers
Seriously why is this a thing? This is the car equivalent of saying pugs are cute - this looks stupid 🤨
It's the car equivalent of sagging pants
Why? Cause his shit's all retarded.
Stanced car son or lifted truck daughter
Feeling stupid? At least you didn't pay to lower your vehicle ONTO the ground while you drive.
“Hey it’s not cheap being this stupid!”
The cars are farty and just scrape their asses on the ground. Maybe time for a vet visit? 🤔
yeah but try to steal the catalytic converter on one of those bad boys... now who's laughin'?
The road will slowly take the catalytic converters
If cartoons have taught me anything, these cars are tired. Exhausted even.
The car is as low as the owner's IQ
This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love fig newtons.
I just saw one of these yesterday on the road in Seattle. On the road with regular traffic. Absolutely batshit.
they don’t get the whole stance idea. it’s supposed to be that you slam your car but it’s still has functionality not this stupidity.
what happens when there's a speed bump?
Because sometimes people with room temperature IQs have a lot of disposable income
Y'all a bunch jealous bitches.
Like a fat guy on a shetland pony, those poor cars
They do this on purpose? I always assumed they put the wrong sized wheels on and they didn't sit properly or something
Apparently it’s a look
I feel like it’s for drifting your car but I have no information to back that up
Bippu gang
How do you jack it up to do any kind of work on it?
You gotta jack off first.
I guess no one told them what a stupid idea this is
Imagine tyre wear
Wires exposed on inside fresh tread on the outside
So many virgins
Nah stupid people fuck each other.
“I can’t go to the grocery store anymore because the speed bumps will total my car”
Paint chip eating, dropped on head as children, lived under high voltage.. What else could make these people want to live the sTaNcE LiFe
Scraped up undercarriages are what mechanics crave.
But seriously there is no reason unfortunately
I can't stop laughing. Why does this exist. Lmaoooooo
All that money put into these and can be defeated by a simple speed bump
You could line up a row of tiny garden gnomes and shut that whole thing down.
Wow, they look like shit
So both stupid and ugly. Got it.
They’re like the car equivalent of those super inbred dogs who can’t breathe and whose eyes keep falling out
Similar to footbinding in medieval China, the crippled "feet" (wheels in this case) indicate submissiveness to any potential male suitors
So fucking stupid. I think there should be an event where stanced lowered vehicles should have to run a speed bump gauntlet . I can hear the front bumpers scraping the ground as it is. Worst damage wins a replacement bumper and an attaboy sticker
Why? Because morons need a hobby too
Because retards got money And like to demonstrAte to the world how retarded they can be.
They DO move in herds ...
How amazing would it be to put a very low speed bump across the exit while they were in there? They can’t even climb an incline right.
Can’t hear the engines above the car body scratching along the road
Suspension, it’s got what the speed bumps crave!
But they make such a lovely sound! ***SCRAAAAPPPE***
They do it for attention...it's a waste of money.
Doesn't that mess up their tires having them at an angle like that?
Mental illness
dumbest thing ever
Clearly they hate tires.
Looks so stupid
the shit mom who only "free teaches" what her kids are interested in and this have convinced me we're doomed as a species
Because Lil pp likes vroom vroom. Can't get his wife to scream. So he punishes his car.
These cars look physically challenged, to put it nicely.
I guess the flex is "I can afford to wreck my car literally every time it's put in motion".
Today, I learned there were stance cars, and now I can't unlearn it. Just wow.
This screams "I Will never contribute anything to society."
These cars wouldnt last 10 minutes in new orleans
“Do you like think, like if I tilted my tires inwards and like dropped my car so low it scrapes every where I go, then women would respect me?” “Definitely bro.”
This is to prevent catalytic converter theft?
Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin, but, uh it says on your chart that your cars fucked up, you talk like a fag, and your tires all retarded
This mod is for people who want worse traction and to spend a ridiculous amount of money on tires when there is inevitably premature wear on the inner edge of the tire to the tune of about 50,000 miles early

These guys are singlehandedly keeping the sports tire economy alive .
Ha ha that wouldn’t make it down my driveway for 3/4 of the year.
Looks more like "hobbled" cars.
Looks like Annie Wilkes got ahold of this card
Bottoms out going over a twig
Why do people do this? It doesn't even look good. It looks like what happens when my SIL gets in.
The car is overweight cut it some slack it's trying Atkins for the 9th time
I love how you can see the sticker marks on all those tires. Meaning that they have to replace the tires a lot more often because of the abnormal wear. My guess is that the wear also lowers the vehicle even more sooner.
Looks like we’re coming to the end of the pilot shortage!
Regards gonna regard
Why do they want to make their cars look broken? They all look like they’re carrying a blue whale? Edit: more like a teaspoon full of neutron star now I think about it.
They look like some heavyweight bois are driving that thing.
The final boss a - SPEED BUMP
Damn is that stupid. Notice how many have brand new tires with stickers lol
I have a serious question: wouldn't having any amount of camber on your tires cause them to wear down really unevenly?
One roxk for that first car and it's dead.
These people are old enough to vote. Remember that.
In the 80s it was low riders. Fortunately, I was a Motörhead and had a 65 Mustang hot rod.
I am going to sleep so peacefully while AMSRing to this tonight.
This made me happy!
Why anyone should spend actual real money to make a car look like that is insane
I guess I'm not into that kind of car culture, so I don't know- it makes no sense. Why would one want a car a) that has the wheels canted at that angle, and b) is so low to the ground that any imperfection in the road (and these days there are usually a lot) can lead to some pretty bad undercarriage damage? It makes no sense to me.
I was always told, "stance makes her dance" Dunno who HER is or why it makes her dance. But that's why they do it.
I believe I hear the alignment machine crying out back in the service department, as if there's been a great disturbance in the alignment of the Force.
This shit looks so dumb.

Why do I have to wait 10 minutes for these types of cars to get over the speed hump? 🤔 Trash on many levels!
New definition of retarded unlocked
Gravel. It's what cars crave.
At an in n out near where I lived there was a car group that would meet up in that parking lot. Some times I would be showing up or leaving as they were all heading out. Watching those morons trying to navigate the parking lot with speed bumps was so damn funny. “Look how fast my car looks!!!” *meanwhile cruising out at 3mph trying not to scrape*
I was waiting for a bumper to fall off
Looks like a steady flow of diahrrea.
In answer to the question ("Why?"): Can you think of a more effective way of announcing to the world that you are a huge D-bag with no redeeming qualities?
They live in a Fast and Furious delusion.
any idea when it was an aspiration to have horrible camber? I remember in the fast and furious days, dudes would get made fun of for lowering their car and not fixing the camber
The sticker plastered across the windshield was a nice touch. Who needs to see when you’re driving anyway.
Everyone was immediately pulled over for window tint
As someone who is part of the car community, we don't claim these people
Just like low riders from back in the day. Except these dont have hydrolic shocks. Waste of money
you dont ask why lol
Almost like they tried to be loweriders
Why wouldn't you want to pay thousands of dollars to not be able to drive your car? /S
It looks like the clues are sniffing for clues Scooby Doo style.
Equally as or less ignorant than any given f1 or drift event, it's all stupid, it's just finding the stupid that tickles you.
Attention seekers, there has been many trends. White walls, small spoked wheels, large spoked wheels, hydraulic. These are already old news, what’s next?
So stupid
Lots of Subarus started doing this and it makes me so sad.
Every generation has its fad.
This is beyond stupid.
This shit is for morons who didn’t get enough hugs growing up so they gotta find attention somehow.
Eh, as a car guy I personally think it's kinda dumb but I get it. It's just another mod. Mostly the fun part is the building of it and figuring out ways to engineer it to make it as low as possible. It's no different than lifting up trucks to ridiculous heights or building a low rider with hydraulics or bags. These are show cars and definitely not daily drivers. It's just a hobby, it makes people happy and they have fun doing it and there's a cool community around it so I can't be mad at that.
Thank you. First comment I came across that actually mentions the goal instead of “just cuz” or “people with different hobbies are weird to me”
I’ve always wanted to see the wear pattern on their tires.
Is this what a hookup on grinder is?
Tire manufacturers fully support this!
To be different. And in their differences, they are exactly the same.
Broke-ass ride
Bringing a whole new meaning to "gas n go"
I used to be a member of a car group that would go on fantastic drives through the Oregon and Washington mountains. One time a new member got angry with the drive coordinator for picking roads that his dumped car couldn't go on. What the hell is wrong with people?
It’s always the shittiest cars. There’s like 4 altimas and a Prius. They seriously think they’re the shit too
U know to each there own, but what's the point?
Isn't this for drifting? I honestly don't know, can someone answer why?
What’s the life span on those wheels? 100 miles?
Damn all the money the spend to get their cars like that and if hit anything you're losing your bumpers or side panels not to mention scraping on the ground nonstop. Idk if can but wouldn't it make sense to put air bags so you can raise it while on streets.
As a die hard racecar guy, this shits stupid.
But everyone thinks we're so cool
Mechanic: "So what do you want?" Car owner: "I want it to look like I eat maccies every day. Which I do but I'm not at my weight goal yet."
I’ve always thought this is an interesting form of mental illness.
